Sexing cream legbars- they all look alike to me

[Not-so Slick Chicken]

I have a CCL pullet. I didn't keep very good picture evidence, but I have one picture of her at 1 month old (30 days) and can see the pinkish breast feathers. And I'm sure the back/wings would be noticeable as well.

I don't have a cockerel to compare it to, but they (ccl cockerel) aren't supposed to have those colors

Agreed. Green is obvious. Purple appears to have chipmunk stripe, so pullet.
I assume red has 1 side pic (can't see the color band) and I'm also leaning cockerel for red if that side pic is him.

I don't know if you're planning on keeping cockerels? (I know many people can't.) But if you do plan on keeping a cockerel for hatching eggs, I'm assuming Green would be the better choice. Might pass on the correct autosexing coloring to future chicks maybe?

I was thinking the same thing. It’ll depend on personality and how obnoxious he is as i am technically not allowed but i am on about 1/3 acre and my neighborhood is pretty casual so as long as hes not entirely disruptive, he can stay. I was leaning male for red based on the profile coloring, but i can take a better pic.

Looking at those new pics, I see the confusion. It almost looks like a chipmunk stripe...

I'm still leaning cockerel.
Because if I'm hoping for a pullet, I'll assume cockerel and be happily surprised if it turns out to be a pullet >.>

That is a good idea about keeping the lighter chick to breed. Maybe keep him just long enough to carry on the next generation.

I would say female for this one honestly. I would personally not use her to breed as having that poor of markings as a chick would not be the best genes to keep around in a breeding flock (if you choose to do so). Green has very good markings, very cute boy. The rest are females.

Looking back at the images, honestly I am completely stumped with red haha! Really odd coloring, it’s gunna be interesting to see it grow.

I hope at least this. I would want to contribute in a positive way and not in a confusing way when i can, especially in an autosexing breed. I just hope he has a personality as cute as he is. If others are correct and all other 5 are pullets, then maybe with 5 sisters he will learn to be a gentleman .

Agreed, i would not want to breed her (if she is a “her”) but i have friends who would love blue eggs and dont care about auto sexing or don’t have roosters so i’m sure i could rehome her no prob if my perfect boy ends up staying around. I too am curious to see how ‘red’ develops. I guess my plans to alleviate all sexing anxiety at hatch has been foiled lol.
